Cfl Amendment action today promised to reflect House of Delegates sen- timSnt on two proposed versions of reorganization of the West Virginia Road Commission. Two conflicting bills differing In the form of top-level highway administration were at amendment stage in the House. One bill, passed by the Senate, would place a seven-member bipartisan commission in control of the highway program. The other version, a revision by the House Roads Committee, would put one man, the road commissioner, at the top of the administrative structure. In the Senate, more attention also was focused upon bills up for amendment than those at passage stage.

Measures at amendment level Included an eight million dollar teacher salary increase bill and four of the five bills making up the 17 million dollar tax program originated by the Senate Finance Committee. Largest item In the bundle of revenue bills is a proposed increase from 2 to 3 per cent in the consumers' sales tax. Since the measures also include repeal of the soft drinks tax, the prospective gross increase of 17 million dollars in annual tax income would bo reduced to a net of about million. Passed 60-35 by the House yesterday was a measure to increase the salaries of the five Supreme Court judges and the governor form 512,500 to 517,500 a year. As approved by the Senate, the bill would have affected only the judges' salaries.

A House amendment added the raise for the governor and the bill will go back to the Senate for concurrence. The measure would be effective as to the judge's' salaries next July 1, but under a constitutional provision could not affect the governor's salary until Gov. Marland's successor takes office.

Brodsky, assistant stale comptroller, that for the fiscal year of 1955, starling July 1, gasoline tnx revenue and auto registration fees which are allocated to this county will be $40,868 less thnn anticipated earlier.

Bt-oadsky safd that it is estimated that will be available from the state from the gasoline tax on a mileage basis and that 571,280.29 will be received by the county from aitto registralion feus. Tlie drop in anticipated net revenue from the state will result from the defeat of a bill which would have raised car tag license fees. Members of the board said that the current levy estimate on these two revenue sources was 5325,000 and that the anticipated revenues for the next fiscal year will total These funds arc used solely for road maintenance and construction. oral Home by Rev.
